AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The AUD/JPY is poised to continue trading sideways, although buyers appear to be gaining momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, but shy of cracking the latest peak, which would further increase bulls’ chances of seeing higher prices.
If AUD/JPY climbs past June monthly high of 94.83, expect a test of 95.00. A break above will expose the May 13 high ot 95.64, which, if decisively cleared, opens the door for further upside. The next immediate zone of interest will be the February 12 high of 97.32, before challenging the YTD high at 99.15.
On the flip side, AUD/JPY failure to clear 95.00, expect a pullback that could drag the exchange rate to the Kijun-sen at 93.77, followed by the Tenkan-sen at 93.56, ahead of the Senkou Span A at 93.40.
